Set up us the bomb
Don't use bass strings for that. The way they vibrate just doesn't work on guitars. They feel stiff, yet floppy, if that makes any sense. Always use guitar strings. Also, i would advise against going too nuts with the string sizes, because after a certain size, strings will just sound like a dull "dunnnnnnn" type sound, rather than the crisp and clear bright attack that it's meant to have.
Another thing to think about is picking dicipline. Maybe you like those tighter strings not for comfort, but because they allow you to keep using bad technique without worry? I remember struggling with thinner strings, because they would just turn to boiled spaghetti in my hands. Then i learned to relax, and trust my ears. If something sounds like you're picking really hard, and it sounds badass as fuck, then why would you pick harder?
